Borealys Games release a teaser trailer for Mages of Mystralia, a new action-adventure game set in a lively fantasy world in which you can design your own spells.
The story is being written by bestselling author Ed Greenwood, the author of hundreds of fantasy books and creator of the Forgotten Realms fantasy world for Dungeons and Dragons, a world which served as the setting for the classic Baldur’s Gate and Neverwinter Nights series of games. Dan Adelman, former head of all things indie for 9 years at Nintendo of America, and currently the business side of Axiom Verge and Chasm, is also deeply involved.
In Mages of Mystralia, you play as Zia, a young girl who discovers that she has been born with an innate ability to work magic. Unfortunately, magic has been banned by the Marquis, so Zia sets off to train on her own and learn control over her magic. On her journey, she encounters danger, but discovers mysterious magical runes—and soon realizes she can combine them in many different ways to craft completely new spells! But Mystralia is in peril; will she master enough magic in time?
Borealys Games is a new studio based in Montreal composed of industry veterans who have worked on games ranging from the Assassin’s Creed series through Far Cry to Prince of Persia: Sands of Time.

Recently there have been several Kickstarter campaigns that have raised an amount of funding to prove that the concept is viable, but then seek publisher or outside investor support for what they really need. We are taking the opposite approach. We built our proof-of-concept, got investment, and made our game. It is fully playable beginning to end, and many would consider it complete.
But as we’ve observed our playtesters and gotten feedback, we’ve generated a ton of ideas that would not take too long to implement but have the power to take this game to the next level. Adding all of those little tweaks and extra polish will only add a couple months to our schedule, so for a relatively modest sum, we can have a huge impact.
Of course, we already have plans for how we’d like to expand the game post launch with new game modes. If we exceed our goal, we’ll be able to staff up more aggressively and deliver those new features sooner than if we had to wait for the game to launch.
Today, Montreal-based developer Borealys Games announced that its debut title, Mages of Mystralia, which raised a whopping CA$ 234,238 on Kickstarter, is set to launch on PC on May 18th.
As you may know, Mages of Mystralia is also poised to release on Xbox One and PS4, but a release date for either of these versions was not divulged. However, Borealys has said it will announce the dates for said platforms “shortly.”
Described as a the Legend of Zelda meets Harry Potter (the best combination ever), Mages of Mystralia is a single-player action-adventure set in a fantasy world in which you can design your own spells.
